Tivozanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common type of cancer worldwide and the third most common cause of death from cancer. Sorafenib is the only approved therapy for treatment of advanced HCC, and there is a need to identify more drugs that are beneficial for these patients without unacceptable side effects. Prodrug chemotherapy is an approach in which an inactive non-toxic agent is administered to the patient and gets activated within the body at specific locations, resulting in a higher concentration of the cytotoxic form at a tumor location while avoiding general side effects. G-202 (mipsagargin) is an example of prodrug chemotherapy. It is activated by Prostate Specific Memory Antigen (PSMA), which is expressed by some cancer cells and in the blood vessels of most solid tumors, but not by normal cells or blood vessels in normal tissue. It is believed that activation of the prodrug G-202 will allow the drug to kill cancer cells. This study will evaluate the activity and safety of G-202 in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who have progressed after taking sorafenib. The study will evaluate clinical activity and safety of G-202 administered by intravenous infusion on three consecutive days of a 28-day cycle.
The purpose of this study is to estimate the time to disease progression when everolimus and pasireotide are given together in patients with advanced or metastatic HCC who have not had any prior systemic therapy.

The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of YIV-906 plus standard-of-care sorafenib versus those of sorafenib alone as a first-line systemic treatment for patients with Hepatitis B (+) associated advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. YIV-906 (PHY906, KD018) is an immune system modulator. Clinical and preclinical research suggests that YIV-906 could act to enhance the body's immune response to fight cancer and increase the anti-tumor activity of sorafenib and protect and repair the gastrointestinal tract by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration. Inspired by a 1,800-year-old traditional medicine still in use today, YIV-906 is a botanical drug candidate, composed of an extract of four herbs and administered in oral capsule form. The CALM (Combination of YIV-906 and Sorafenib to treat Advanced Liver cancer in a Multi-center study) trial is a multi-regional, randomized, placebo-controlled study.
